Sonoda Race 8 - Race 8 - 1400

BRIONI (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 9 lengths over 1230m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish. MONT THE SECOND (6) went forward when resuming last start over 1230m at this track and held on well for second, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. YOTA WOOD TAIL (8) was a determined winner last time at this track, scoring by a neck over this distance. Significant weight drop this time so he should run well. STEEL SONIC (1) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth over 1230m here. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
